My name is Peter Fischer, born and raised in a small suburban town directly between the cities of Washington, DC, Baltimore and Annapolis, Md.

I was diagnosed with JRA when I was a young 4 years of age.  After a short stint at a Junior College near Annapolis, I packed up my boxes and relocated to Tempe, Arizona to attend Arizona State University.  Twelve years later I'm still in the Phoenix Metro Area, and happily married to Alison.  I work as an Architectural Project Manager. I have been an active volunteer for the Arthritis Foundation for many years, and am thrilled to be part of Arthritis Introspective's (AI) groundbreaking support system network. I look forward to meeting many many more of you at future AI events, and groups.
